The Corpsmans Prayer
Lord, As I embark upon this path that you,
in your infinite wisdom, have set before me, I pray
that you will guide my hand, my heart and my mind.
Keep me faithful to my oath, always aware of the
seriousness of my duties, and above all the sacredness
of life. Let me not be a glory seeker, but rather a servant,
as You the Great Physician to whom all Glory belongs, served
even us. Help me face the trials before me, death of those I
come to love, and personal disappointments without losing heart
or faith. May I place first the welfare of those entrusted to my
care, and self last. Above all Lord, protect me from my pride, for
there is nothing I can do through what skill I may possess that is
not in your will that it be done.
Amen
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
